Chapter 1157: Chapter 1157: Rematch with Meng Yuanqi
Shi Hao’s goal was, of course, to rapidly elevate his cultivation, while Mao Yuhao was more interested in having fun, so the two naturally had little in common.
After just two days, they went their separate ways.
Shi Hao continued to seek Fire Elements to quickly complete the refinement of his heart.
He had extorted many treasures from the group of the brocade-clad men, and combined with the Immortal Elixirs he obtained in the underground cave, it was quite a fortune. With the presence of the Stone Mill, it didn’t require him much effort; he just needed to use this pure energy and rules to refine his heart.
After more than ten days, Shi Hao completed the transformation of his heart into Immortal Gold at an astonishing speed.
Next, Shi Hao just needed a slight foundation-laying before he could break through to Eight Stars.
It was so fast that no one would believe it.
He became more curious about what on earth the Stone Mill was and why it was so formidable.
Forbidden zone!
His thoughts wavered. Should he go there for a look?
Although it was called the forbidden zone and most who entered met a dead end, those who came out alive always reaped great rewards.
Like Old Gu, who came out alive and obtained absolutely astonishing treasures. Like Yue Ying, the treasure she obtained might even be at the Immortal King level — this was what Shi Hao inferred from her arrogant tone.
However, Old Gu still had a segment of his memory cut off.
Yet, Old Gu himself didn’t enjoy such benefits. Yue Ying eventually acknowledged Shi Hao as her master, and there was also the Sky-Flipping Seal, whose power far surpassed ordinary Immortal Techniques.
Right.
Shi Hao paused. When he was at the Mortal Level, no matter what his cultivation was, as soon as he used the Sky-Flipping Seal, his power would be completely drained.
And now?
Now that he had stepped into the Immortal Level, would such an issue still occur?
Shi Hao decided to test it; he must fully understand his Immortal Techniques so he could use them adeptly.
Otherwise, if he couldn’t defeat the enemy in one strike and his own state unexpectedly changed, it would be a terrible thing.
Bring it on.
He activated the Sky-Flipping Seal and thrust it toward the ground.
With a huge rumbling sound, the ground was forcibly blasted downwards, and cracks, like spider silk, spread out in all directions.
What terrifying might!
Shi Hao nodded. The power of this strike was not beneath the Nine Character Battle Method — except for the first time he used the Wordless Spell in the Immortal Realm, which was simply a divine skill, probably even able to kill a lower-level Silver Spirit Immortal outright.
Moreover, his energy consumption was not very large, similar to when using the Wordless Spell.
In other words, the levels of the two were about the same.
Shi Hao continued to search, and a few days later, he decided to charge toward Eight Stars.
His preparations were almost complete.
Half a day later, he successfully stepped into the next level, and then he chose the liver as the second organ to be refined.
The heart was the first choice, and the order after that was not so important. After all, he certainly had to complete the refinement of all the internal organs.
Shi Hao got up and continued moving forward.
However, after several more days, the Fire Elements here further decreased, making it truly difficult to find another gathering place for Fire Elements.
For three consecutive days, Shi Hao reaped no rewards.
On the fourth day, as Shi Hao continued to search aimlessly, a sudden sense of crisis surged within him.
He stopped, then looked toward the left.
“Your dog’s nose is quite sharp; even this was sniffed out by you!” a cold voice sounded as Meng Yuanqi strode over.
His entire being exuded a powerful aura, sharp and domineering yet extremely unstable.
Shi Hao’s eyes narrowed slightly; Meng Yuanqi had broken through to become a Silver Spirit Immortal.
This was decisive.
Meng Yuanqi knew that at the Copper Armored Immortal level, he was completely no match for Shi Hao, so he chose to break through to Silver Spirit Immortal, thinking that with a major realm of suppression, how could he not win?
— He originally planned to break through here, then enter the second-level area to continue hunting Fire Elements, but initially, he would have further consolidated his realm and refined another organ or something.
Shi Hao smiled faintly, “A defeated general, who gave you the courage to get cocky again?”
Meng Yuanqi was unmoved. As a top genius, he had sufficient self-control: “Past glory can forever only remain in the past; the present and future are the most important.”
“I am now a Silver Spirit Immortal; killing you is easy!”
Shi Hao shook his head, “You are now a Silver Spirit Immortal, but are you not afraid of being punished by the Immortal King for taking action in this area?”
Instantly, Meng Yuanqi’s momentum paused.
All his mind was filled with thinking of avenging himself on Shi Hao, yet he overlooked the consequences of taking action here after stepping into the Silver Spirit Immortal.
Immortal King!
Even though Meng Yuanqi was a superb genius in this domain, confident in achieving Immortal King, the Immortal King, to him, was still unreachable.
Looking through the history of this domain, every few thousand years, a few geniuses like him would emerge, but eventually?
They only achieved the Jade Immortal, and none had any connection with the Immortal King.
So, facing such a lofty being as the Immortal King, naturally, he held fear and reverence.
What if the Immortal King became furious?
Meng Yuanqi suddenly fell into hesitation, unable to make a decision.
Shi Hao shook his head, “Being so cautious, your accomplishments in this life are destined to be limited. Even if you step into Jade Immortal, you’ll have no connection with the strongest levels.”
Damn!
In a flash, Meng Yuanqi’s temper flared up.
“You’re provoking me like this, seeking death!” he said coldly.
Here, high-level Immortals could not take action against low-level Immortals by the decree of the Immortal King. However, if a low-level Immortal actively provoked a high-level Immortal, wouldn’t being blasted to death be deserved?
Shi Hao beckoned with his fingers, “Then bring it on.”
Meng Yuanqi let out a long roar and rushed towards Shi Hao.
A Silver Spirit Immortal making a move was naturally extraordinary.
Although he had just broken through, he had already stabilized his realm and grasped a slight Silver Spirit Immortal Rule.
Even if it was just a hint, compared to the Bronze Immortal Law, it was a complete suppression.
Boom!
He came aggressively, full of overwhelming might.
Shi Hao decisively took out a Power Talismanic Soldier, slapped it onto himself, and boom, his aura instantly surged. Simultaneously, he also pulled out the Myriad Thunder True Gold, transforming it into battle armor that enveloped him.
Meng Yuanqi couldn’t help but squint his eyes. Why did this battle armor look so familiar?
Right, it was very similar to the blade Shi Hao had used before, both azure, wrapped in thunder.
Was this a set?
However, even if you used an Immortal Artifact and a Power Talismanic Soldier, could you make up for the huge gap between realms?
What I wield is the Silver Spirit Immortal Rule—
Bang!
In a direct confrontation, Meng Yuanqi’s body trembled and staggered backward.
What!
He looked at Shi Hao in shock. The opponent, like him, only took a few steps back and wasn’t even sent flying, let alone defeated instantly.
How, is this, possible!
